DeSantis Prioritizes MAGA Culture Wars As Florida Faces One Of The Worst Teacher Shortages In The Nation
As Florida faces one of the worst teacher shortages in the nation, and ranks number 48 in the country for average teacher pay, Ron DeSantis is instead focusing on political stunts and culture wars designed to rile up the MAGA base. In response, Florida Democratic Party Spokesperson Devon Cruz released the following statement:
“Florida’s students, parents, and schools are struggling with an increasingly worse educator shortage that has left thousands of students in Florida without a full-time teacher. Yet instead of working with school districts and parents to put forth real solutions to strengthen Florida’s public schools and help students, Ron DeSantis is busy pandering to the extreme MAGA base with political stunts and culture wars to book his next interview on Fox.”
